Is Gabi anyone else's favourite character?

Simon

There is nothing to react to in that show, all the characters only act as a reaction to things happening and upgrades come out of nowhere

Simon

there is nothing to react to in demon slayer, everything is just reactionary- there is no point in making theories about it since its a battle anime where fighting styles are just pulled out of no where

Death Note with Montana’s reactions 😍

Re:Zero or ID Invaded. Great anime to react to and theorize about.

JennatheBreadQueen

my absolute favorite kind of storytelling. it’s so satisfying

Yeah, but after Demon Slayer.

Dude there is literally an update in the comments about how that was a typo.

Terence

When is the next episode is going to be release? He said Friday and today is Sunday, way past due

FirePistol95

Circular Storytelling is a method that exists. Which I've grown to now love in stories. Able to go back and re-exp a story with all context. You will notice so many little details we miss.

Okay cool, thanks for the update! Can't wait!

Letts React

Def a typo, sorry for the issue! Next episode early next week! I made the captions to these posts before we left for our vacation, so i forgot to update the schedule

The BlazinKen

he said it was a typo, it wasn't supposed to come out on friday

Aaliyah

Something probably happened so Kenny couldn't post it. He'll probably give us an update and post it today. Let's just hope they're okay and wait for the update.

Killpatch

Apparently Friday means something entirely different in NY lmao XD

ThePhantomMenace

im also waiting for it so bad

Dristin

I really hope they didn't mean next Friday... No they're just late cause of traffic right?

Tyler Smead

Death Note or My Hero Academia

Me to

Terence

Still waiting

Angel Hernandez

That’s everyone in the show tho and the only few that don’t think like that, want to sacrifice their own people instead

Deebus

Anyone know if the next one is still coming today?

Iliad

Fma: B!

Jon Wake

Nope. He wants an instant solution to a centuries long problem, like all midwits do. He has a child's mind about how to solve problems.

Jon Wake

Floch's a fascist. Fascists get the wall.

Angel Hernandez

Except that proven to be false throughout Part 2 if you pay close attention

It's interesting to see the change in motive from Eren from the start of the show to now. First, he wanted all the titans dead because he believed inside the wall was all that's left of humanity BECAUSE of the Titans. Now he knows that Humanity exists outside the walls, but is using the Titans to kill all of them so that only those inside the walls remain.

Dristin

The poll has to be close. I really hope it isn't Demon Slayer. Nothing against it heck I love the show, but it just won't give the same amount of shock that Death Note or FMAB can give.

Floch takes pleasure in hurting, even killing others. He enjoys utilizing the power his position gives him to take control and cause pain. He’s been through a lot, but he’s cruel. It’a not to save his people, it’s to “restore the Eldian Empire”. It’s all about power to him. He has zero remorse for his actions. Annie, Reiner, and the other warriors have consistently shown the opposite. That’s the difference.

Dristin

Death note.

I agree with others here- it’s more about the delivery. Annie was raised in a certain way (don’t wanna spoil) and was brainwashed by Marley. But even she shows inner conflict with what she does to the people of Paradis, she struggles with what she did to Marco and seemed reluctant. Also she spares Armin when she is the female titan. None the less, very humanly, she wants to be with her dad. Same way Eren wants the island to survive at the expense of others. The issue with Floch is that he does not show those moments of conflict with what he does to the comrades he grows up with. We don’t see a flinch or grimace or anything when he orders deaths or beatings to people he has known and worked with. All the things you list about floch would probably be seen in a different light if we saw him struggle or think more critically about his own actions, like pretty much every character has done. I mean look at Gabi! She was a killing machine and filled with hate and even she was able to introspect about her actions.

It just goes to, "its not what you say but how you say it" that is a big factor in how people perceive you and your character. Sure, you're not wrong, Floch's motivations are just as noble as the OG squad, but his way of going about things leaves much to be desired. Also, can't forget that Annie was just as brainwashed as Gabi, Reiner, Bertholt,...etc...there's nothing hypocritical about it

Sean Carroll

Yeah I actually am understanding of them both, especially Reiner. However I’m still calling out the hypocrisy of those who slam floch when he’s also doing things for his and his people’s freedom. They all share the same end goal and perform actions to get there. Reiner and Annie have done severely worse things then floch but people completely hate him from the moment he tries to stand up to the main characters and just keep that same hate going. Thank god there are more people these days during part 2 who have seen his actual motivation behind his actions and try to understand him and how he turned out like this

Sean Carroll

Annie: kills Levi squad and lots of scouts, involved in Marcos death and says she would do it all again to return to her dad. Everyone: I love Annie Floch: says mean words to main characters at funeral and gets others to beat up Keith. Apart from that, willingly goes on a suicide charge to help the island and tries to revive the commander, defends his island to the death and would do anything to protect his people. Everyone: I hate Floch. Hypocrisy at its finest ladies and gentlemen

Sean Carroll

Trust me eren has all the power, Ymir gave him everything

Ci-Ci

Aww yes thought the same thing watching this episode, Jean really came into his own from being an unsure leader to a confident one 😌 One of my fave characters

Adam Brown

And, as always, you guys MUST react to Naoki Urasawa's Monster. This anime was made for Montana.

Adam Brown

I vote Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but won't mind Death Note.

amine souissi

floch is the goat

Deebus

The animation and VA did lots to help her as well. The character development didn’t hit as hard in print as it did in motion which a lot of the final arcs of the show have and will

Elijah

Hey y’all you might not see this and that’s fine, I just wanted to post a link to a Twitter thread for Episode 80, From You, 2000 Years Ago. It’s completely spoiler free, if you don’t trust me you could have your friend Chris, I believe, take a look at it first. You don’t have to react to it or anything. But just the pure insight it gave me on that episode. From the Tree, “The Source of Life”, Ymir’s Mentality. I mean literally, ha, eye opening. So take a look if you see this. https://twitter.com/cactuzzshash/status/1490425750507470853?s=21&t=NJ2f55dZQ2Yf_U0C3hR0mQ

You’re probably a decent amount past this episode but I’ll still say it in case you’re still confused. First in terms of the beast Titans location if you rewatch the animation of Eren transforming you can see the tendrils of the halucengenia monster attach themselves to both eren and his brother so I assuming that form is the combo of both brothers. And the other thing you mentioned about that form eren is currently in I’ve heard two theories one is that he’s like that because it resembles the halucegenia creature more which would makes sense sense he’s been granted the powers of the founder although I don’t like this theory since I’d imagine him looking a bit more like Ymir. The other option is he’s like this because his head was severed he he’s taken this form because this was the only way the creature could reconnect is as quickly as possible I like this theory more.

Shae Nyne

I'm so happy that I know you guys pre-record these. I feel so much better after I finish an episode with a cliffhanger to know you guys have likely already seen the next one <3

Reese Does things

Is it playing right for y'all. I guess so. Its not playing right for me.

Krista Han

Yeeeesss, so proud of him🙏 I've always liked his character a lot, and when in season 1 he and Eren were kind of rivals, they now consider each other good friends and I find it really interesting how Jean was the one who "understood" Eren in this episode and explained it when it's always been Armin and Mikasa who understand him and speak for him first (and I do think that they're still hurting from the talk) And yes, I saw it on the AoT Twitter that they would be releasing the first dubbed OVA on Sunday~ Can't wait to watch that!

Krista Han

Okay, I had to come back to Patreon and watch! Just didn't feel right not to be here 😂😂😂🙏

zbox5432

The problem with your island analogy is that the scale of the rumbling isn't even the MAIN problem morally speaking. Assuming this world is anything like ours, it's probably safe to say that there are hundreds of countries out there, and I'm willing to bet that there are more than a few who had no intention of attacking Paradis alongside Marley. Eren is going to wipe out everyone regardless of this though. I find his actions to be understandable, but ultimately, I can't find any true justification for them.

JennatheBreadQueen

Jean stepping up to lead in that moment was so big for him. So proud of the mullet king. Also. it was just announced I believe that the OVA’s will be dubbed and released on a weekly basis!! i think it might start this sunday but i could be wrong. just in case 🥰

Dean

Song is barricades by hiroyuki sawano first played in season 2 in a scene with historia and yimir and an instant add to my playlist also FMAB

Victreebel91

It doesn’t seem like Eren has full control over the Founder, does it? Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t have a master-slave relationship with Ymir like the Royals did. So it’s very ambiguous on what Eren can do and what he can’t.

Andrea Perez

You must watch Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

Hope Ful

It’s just has good fight scene because the best animation studio is animating it. Everything else is average.

Hope Ful

Good fight scene because of ufotable that’s it

Jack Webster

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood for sure.

Ci-Ci

lol im just cracking up at "Eren aint no scientist"

fr0st

They talked about this before, but I think they're still not dubbed so they can't really.

AbatedFawn

Please react to the attack on titan OVAs

Donovan Barnes

The song that plays when during the fight against the titans around the 23 minute mark (Barricades) is also from season 2 when Hannes is fighting the smiling titan

fr0st

FMAB Also so glad y'all are now at Gabi's redemption. People who still hate Gabi will literally turn around and say Eren is their favorite character despite all he's done. There is a clear parallel between these two extremely determined and single-minded kids who are shaped by their trauma to go into the military and vow to destroy all the [insert other side here] and then come to see that it's not quite that simple.

80HD_Selkie

I vote for Deathnote or FMAB

Aaron Jeffrey

Can’t wait for y’all to get to 4x28!! Thanks for posting guys!! Love watching y’all’s videos and can’t wait for the demon slayer reactions!!!

Ghost Turty

Go back to the last episode. Zeke was grabbed by the centipede looking thing so he’s still alive just taken hostage by Eren.

Samuel Horwitz

At this point in the story, it’s all semantics. It doesn’t matter to Eren, if he kills the global military alliance, who knows how long until the rest of the world turns hostile and develops technology powerful enough to wipe out Paradis and the Eldians. Yes, what Eren is doing is wrong on a thousand levels, but he’s doing what is necessary. I can’t talk about what he said in episode 28 because this is the Letts’ Patreon comments, and I don’t want them to be spoiled. But just listen again, closely to what he says in episode 28. No, I don’t agree with what he is doing, but I understand his motivation and I understand his reasoning. Many don’t, they choose to forget what he went through which led him to this point, all because genocide is wrong. Which it is wrong, again, I’m not defending genocide. As someone else in the AOT comment section on this Patreon said before me, “If you can understand what Doctor Strange meant when he said, ‘It was the only way…’ but you can’t understand why Eren is doing what he’s doing, then you are a hypocrite.”

Samuel Horwitz

Death Note

Jon Wake

Yeah, like I've said... Eren is an idiot. He's a dumb, dumb teenage boy. Unfortunately people think he's thought through all the options because he's the main character and we're used to main characters being somehow righteous.

Jon Wake

There's one problem-- Eren is, and has always been, a total idiot. Just a simple minded dolt. So he doesn't even *think* of other options.

Chelly

Nah the first few episodes actually had me interested, afterwards it was kinda hit or miss until THAT arc later on in season 1

Nick A Sam III

Partially true. The show is a collection of shoenen cliches and the first half of season one is boring. It gets better when Zenitsu/Inosuke show up and season 2 was great…. But the show is def overrated

William Timmins

The reappearance of Sasha is one of the most emotional moments of season 4. Sniff. The whole Gabi arc is just... amazing.

William Timmins

The thing about the choice 'them or us' is that it blankets each side as a monolith and ignores all the people who disagree with their side or are otherwise ignorant/innocent. You aren't JUST killing the people who want you dead, you're killing countless people who might only barely be aware of you or are just trying to survive under the same a-holes that are challenging Paradis. Also, while the world at large might hate Paradis, it's only the Marleyans who actually DID anything directly to Paradis.

Chelly

The only reason Eren is even doing a full-scale Rumbling is because he refused to allow Historia to inherit the Beast Titan. If he had been willing to go along with that plan, Paradis would’ve EASILY been able to defend against the rest of the world without committing mass genocide. But Eren doesn’t want his people to “breed like cattle” (his exact words). He values freedom as the Attack Titan, and he would rather see the entire world be destroyed than lose that.

lily whetsell

my vote is death note! its relatively short (37 eps I believe) so I think it would be a good bridge after such a long show and before another longer one/ aot s4 part 3. it was the first anime that I finished and probably my favorite.

PurpleTux

False

William Timmins

Eren ain't no scientist. I'm thinking of the forests. I mean, he's basically doing a meteor strike on the entire planet. Plus, given the MILLIONS of titans pouring out incredible amounts of heat from nowhere via founder magic, that's going to have an effect. A very likely scenario is that a wave of titans obliterating everything outside Paradis will create environmental devastation that will cause long winters or droughts or whatnot and then humanity on Paradis will end. Way to go, Eren

Shoot me a dm if it still doesn’t work 👍🏻

I will say I hated Gabi up until she started to understand her brainwashing. Once she said "there are no devils on this island," I started to grow more empathy. Now she's one of my favorite character arcs and I don't hate her anymore. Also, Demon Slayer!

PurpleTux

Y'all gotta check out demon slayer

Yahzzie

Kaya's village isn't the same as Conny's village. Conny's village is the one that turned into titans and Kaya's village was attacked by those titans and everyone left but didn't help her or her mom so she was stuck there till Sasha found her

Doronsra

It won't let me watch it

Y’all have no idea it just keeps getting better 😂

It makes my day every time I log in to see a new AOT reaction. Love the content and thank you for your hard work! (Good luck also! Iykyk)

LadyBee

Also, beyond killing innocent humans, isn't he killing ecosystems as well? Like, do they not need the animal ecosystems that he'd be destroying?

Yahzzie

not everyone in the outside world want every eldian dead. there are good people, you just don't really see their POV, you see the POV from the people in power who use propaganda to make most people hate the eldians. still doesn't mean everyone outside the walls wants them dead.

Cas_nc12

One of the hard parts of the rumbling is even if you wanted it to just kill all your enemies you would be killing millions of innocents people on the other side as well as we have seen not everyone thinks eldens are bad, a lot do but not everyone

Ablaze

Great upload as always! 👍 Death💀Note please.

William Timmins

Personally I'd rather more non-anime, but that's me.

Dristin

Death Note please. Demon slayer won't give the same kind of shocked expression's like Attack on Titan. Also so glad I joined the Patreon

Jalen Schweiger

Anyone else having trouble with the video not being available for watch?? 😅🙃

Deebus

As soon as you pull the lever you are no longer Keith shadis

Bence Virag

Gabi's character development is one of the best in AoT

Wildwolfrider

Demon Slayer is supreme in most areas.

aliciaaa

Also having heard Montana explain the trolley problem gives me so much more understanding for that scene of Eren on a train. So thank you xx

Hiro

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

aliciaaa

Wow wow wow. The full circles here are amazing. Gaby' arc and realisation was *chef's kiss*. The reversal of how the edlians/people of Ymir have the full knowledge of whats going on( i.e. The Rumbling) but no one else does when along all Paradis and confined Eldians didn't have the full knowlege of whats [been] going on so they could be manipulated, oppressed, and weaponised. And the Scouts vs Pure Titans but now the Scouts know the Pure Titans are their own people and kill them with more compassion as mercy killings vs extermination although survival continues play in both. It's so good and tragic and complex.

Haorii

Even though I love demon slayer too, I think the next show should be Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

JuanderfulJuans

Fullmetal Alchemist for sure
